6 million Swedes receive their tax return in Kivra. It’s a no-brainer, really – no paper stacks to keep track of, just an app and 24/7 access.
Why do so many prefer it digitally?
Up to a month sooner
Skip unnecessary waiting! You’ll receive the tax return sometime between March 6-10, which is earlier than by paper mail.

Anywhere, anytime. Perfect for flexible lifestyles.
Kind on the environment
Is turning trees into declaration forms really necessary? You (and millions of others) decide! Luckily, we have a really good option.
When will you receive the tax return 2026?
That obviously depends on whether you receive it digitally or on paper. If you get Kivra before March 1, you’ll get it between March 2-6. In comparison, the paper version will arrive between March 16 and April 15. That also applies to anyone who has switched off mail from authorities or the Swedish Tax Agency in the Kivra app. You can easily switch those back on in the app.
